Wordpress and tags

Easy access to specific content normally. They're particularly useful for allowing users to track down content on sites with a huge number of posts.

Tagging plugins are useful because the built in tagging function of WordPress is too basic. There are many things you can't do with WordPress by default. In particular I find the ability to rename and sort existing tags very useful.

Actually I'm not sure. Having written my above spiel, I stopped using tags a while ago because it became to tedious to add tags to all of my posts. Plus other users rarely bothered so I had to keep adding them for them too.
